I just have to share this upcoming sale from FineStationery.com because I love craft and address stamps and personalizing my paper stash at home with these! FineStationery.com, the first website in the U.S. that offered customized, personalized invitations and announcements on the web, will be having a one-day blowout sale in all their customized address stamps tomorrow, ...

Tuesday Surprise!
A much awaited package for me arrived yesterday. It's from Ms. Ellen (of The Pseudoshrink) and if you've been reading her blog you'll know that she's a Cath Kidston fan like me =) Last June, Ms. Ellen, Diane (of Diane Wants to Write) and I "joined purses" together and ordered items from the Cath Kidston online sale, using Ms. Ellen's account. It was Ms. Ellen who invited ... READ MORE
Mad about Cath Kidston
Lovely things to brighten up any day of my week: Obvious lang na addict na ako sa Cath Kidston =) My fervent wish right now is for someone to bring the Cath Kidston franchise here in Manila. It remains a mystery to me why nobody is taking interest in the brand, considering that it already has a big following here in Manila. In the meantime, online shopping is ... READ MORE
The Bobby and the Guard
This isn't much of a blog post. I stumbled across this salt and pepper shaker set in the shape of a British bobby and a guard, which I think is too cute not to share! Quirky British touch + vintage design + floral plate in the background. Parang Cath Kidston noh? It's from Cath Kidston nga! Oh please be mine! ... READ MORE
Easter Sale!
There is an ongoing sale (and a BIG sale at that) at my site partners' online stores, and I am so tempted to buy, buy, buy even if I don't have an immediate need for them because, alam nyo na, sayang ang sale hehe! But I think these purchases can be justified as 'investments', particularly for my "travel essentials". You see, AJ and I are seriously thinking of traveling to ... READ MORE

I received this lovely, handcrafted clutch last week from my sister-in-law's sister-in-law, Mba Dyah, who is Indonesian and is one of the sweetest ladies I know (Hi Mba Dyah!). The clutch is by Tulisan (which means "handwriting" in Bahasia Indonesian), a well-known local brand in Jakarta that carries "a collection of handmade, limited-edition illustrated prints that are ...

Ordering Cath Kidston Online + Johnny Air Service
I still can't get over my excitement of finally owning Cath Kidston bags, which were purchased straight from their store in UK! I'll be honest here, and tell you that my experience was not entirely pleasant. By that I mean it was not totally stress-free. For a while I thought I have lost the bags but in the end, pinahaba lang pala ang suspense, hehe! Here's my ... READ MORE
Coming Up Roses
And just like that, March is over. I am grateful to have survived the 1st quarter of the year in good state, save for the bad flu I caught (with AJ) a week ago and made me miss 1 day of work. Overall, it's been a month full of surprises for me - both at work and here at The Bright Spot. The announcement at work still surprised me even though I knew about it for months ... READ MORE
